Well sparse account is still better...@Thennary Nak<br /><br />Well sparse account is still better than nothing =)<br /><br />i guess you&#39;re right about Shintaro my impression have more to do w/ his character in this drama than the real him. This is true for all of them actually. It&#39;s also interesting though to see how their acting+characters affect my view/preference of them. Anyway it was only the 1st episode i hope the story will get more interesting. i can&#39;t help but compare this drama to Gokusen and it&#39;s not up to par at this point. The rating was decent though, i think, for the drama in this time slot.Jpopwanderernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288379594771552770.post-87834523156603918952012-04-16T21:37:10.314-04:002012-04-16T21:37:10.314-04:00@ Jpopwanderer
Well I only gave a very sparse acc...@ Jpopwanderer<br /><br />Well I only gave a very sparse account of the story line. I only understand some Japanese, but it is usually enough to figure out what is going on, and I have seen enough dramas like this one to recognize the common tropes.<br /><br />I think with episodes being as short as they are it would be difficult to really get too much into the characters, but I do hope Juri and Taiga&#39;s characters get a bit more focus. I have heard rumors that Taiga&#39;s character may be played against a tomboy character on the girls&#39; side so I feel we should get to see more of him with that.<br /><br />I think with Shintaro he just has a role that does not give him much to work with. His character is a well-used type-cast for these kinds of series and most are really bland. I do have hope that he might get to do something a bit more challenging with the character acting wise as I don&#39;t think there is much for him to work with as it is now. I really liked him in Snow Prince and doubt his acting has gotten worse since then, but it could also be factors like the director, as they get a say on how an actor acts, as well.<br /><br /><br />@ Anonymous<br /><br />When the other guys say it, yes you&#39;re right but in all the press releases about the show that mention Uchi they bring up that his character is the older brother of Shintaro&#39;s. Also right before the flashback the boys are looking at the flag with all the past members of their group on it and it shows Uchi&#39;s character&#39;s name who has the same last name as Shintaro&#39;s Sakuragi, so they are supposed to be actual brothers unlike the others.Thennary Nakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08091740635880337469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288379594771552770.post-67925021996102221802012-04-16T16:05:02.754-04:002012-04-16T16:05:02.754-04:00I think the word aniki which is used here is not r...I think the word aniki which is used here is not referring Uchi as the elder brother but more like senior.

Thanks for the review. I watched the episode ...Hi,<br /><br />Thanks for the review. I watched the episode but i don&#39;t know japanese so i didn&#39;t really know the story though it wasn&#39;t hard to guess what was going on at all given the type of drama. Still it&#39;s good to know the actual plot. <br /><br />Before watching the drama, Juri and Taiga were my favorite ones of the group. But i found myself enjoying Jesse&amp;Yuugo duo the most. They were definitely scene stealers like you said and their dual-language bickering was hilarious. i really hope they will get more screen times later on. I also like Hokuto&#39;s cool type character. i think he is doing a good job pulling off the role. i&#39;m still not sure about Juri&#39;s and Taiga&#39;s characters. they were uninteresting to me at this point. hope that will change coz i really like them and want to see them do well here. Unexpectedly, i found Shintaro the blandest of them all. To me, he def look 14 and middle school. i still can&#39;t see why he gets the lead coz to me he has no charisma and his acting is not that great but that&#39;s just me. I really hope he and the drama will do well. these are juniors i want to see debuted in the future.Jpopwanderernoreply@blogger.com
